show Brenda entryEC number
1.14.14.31
Accepted name
ipsdienol synthase
Reaction
myrcene + [reduced NADPH—hemoprotein reductase] + O2 = (R)-ipsdienol + [oxidized NADPH—hemoprotein reductase] + H2O
Other name(s)
myrcene hydroxylase,
CYP9T2,
CYP9T3
Systematic name
myrcene,NADPH—hemoprotein reductase:O2 oxidoreductase (hydroxylating)
Comment
A cytochrome P-450 heme-thiolate protein. Involved in the insect aggregation pheromone production. Isolated from the pine engraver beetle, Ips pini. A small amount of (S)-ipsdienol is also formed. In vitro it also hydroxylated (+)- and (–)-α-pinene, 3-carene, and (+)-limonene, but not α-phellandrene, (–)-β-pinene, γ-terpinene, or terpinolene.
